A plant pundit comments on plants, the foibles and fun of academic life, and other things of interest.
Doh! Violated one of my own rules!
It was just a moment's lapse, a second or two of being less than vigilant, and it happened! It must have been the Christmas cookie that distracted TPP. Because without any warning, the eyes shifted, and too late, there was Bill O'Really's column, and it was so damned annoying! Doh! TPP had violated one of his own rules for enjoying the holidays, and yes, Bill, there's more than one, so some of us just say, "Happy holidays!" Bill thinks people who do this need to "get over it", but the king of arrogance is the one who gets bent out of shape about this every year, and calls his pet peeve the "war on Christmas". Now if Bill, who likes to drag out facts, knew anything about Christianity at all, he'd know that December is the wrong season for Christmas, so Christians decided to put their celebration right in among all those other celebrations on purpose. It certainly wasn't the fault of those other religions because they were older, but even though Christmas has become the 800 lb. gorilla of holidays, it doesn't mean the other holidays go away. Apparently being in the majority and still not being able to dictate seasonal greetings is just so irritating and that's what makes Bill so angry. Well, happy holidays Bill. Now, get a life.
